Learning to paint is fun, and it's easier than you think. This book will save you many years of learning, by providing a simplified approach to painting watercolours. All the techniques you'll need are explained and demonstrated by inspirational teacher Keith Fenwick, who takes you through the processes in easy stages.

The landscapes in this book represent the artist’s year, from the gradual awakening of life in spring to the blossoming of colour through summer and autumn and the gradual slowing down of nature in the cold of winter. My aim in this book is to show my approach to painting a landscape from concept to finished picture, in the hope that the techniques I describe will be of use to both the beginner and the more experienced painter.

I have never believed that being able to paint is a gift; whatever you wish to achieve in life has to be worked for. Watercolour painting is no exception, but it is easier than you may think and by means of this book, I hope to prove it to you. Running workshops and painting holidays over many years has verified my belief that anyone can be taught to paint. All I ask of you is that you practise the techniques I am going to show you and follow the logical process I describe. By following these techniques and applying the principles of design you will soon be able to produce paintings that will give you immense satisfaction and pleasure. Don’t forget, ‘practice makes perfect’ - winners never quit and quitters never win.

Painting is a wonderful pastime - it will change your life. Just ask any artist! You will see things you have never noticed before and appreciate more fully the wonders of nature. It is an artist’s dream to see their paintings in book form and to know from the many phone calls and letters received that in a small way they are helping other artists to fulfil their dreams and aspirations. In my paintings, I attempt to capture the ever-changing light and mood in the landscape. What better way to present them to you than by painting the seasons of the year? Happy painting!
